This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok's censorship following it's acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.

    Isn't piefed open source? You might be right, but we'll see, yeah?

    Edit: What would be the benefit of waiting to become open source? Piefed seems to be a great platform, that's why I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. But again, I could be wrong and he's super greedy.
